Solution Overview

Problem

In New Radio (NR) systems, the inflexibility of data channel scheduling and interference between transmission/reception points (TRPs) or antenna panels limit the flexibility and performance of data transmission due to the use of shared transmission parameters.

Innovation Solution

The method involves determining transmission parameters for data channels based on unique configuration information for each control resource set (CORESET) or search space, allowing independent scheduling and reducing interference by using quasi-co-location (QCL) type D assumptions for data channel scheduling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If data channels scheduled by different TRPs/panels use the same transmission parameter, then device complexity is reduced, but scheduling flexibility is greatly limited and serious interference is generated between data channels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission parameter configurationVSAvoidscheduling flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the shared transmission parameter into multiple independent parameter sets, each associated with a specific TRP or panel. This allows each data channel to have its own dedicated transmission parameters rather than sharing a common set, thereby resolving the contradiction between device complexity and scheduling flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by configuring transmission parameters specifically for each TRP or panel based on local channel conditions and scheduling requirements. Each data channel receives optimized parameters tailored to its specific transmission characteristics, improving scheduling flexibility without significantly increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Device complexity

If data channels scheduled by different TRPs/panels use the same transmission parameter, then device complexity is reduced, but serious interference is generated between data channels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission parameter configurationVSAvoidinterference between data channels
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the transmission parameters into separate sets for different TRPs/panels, the patent prevents interference between data channels. Each parameter set is independently configured and applied, eliminating the harmful interference that occurs when multiple channels share the same parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that manages and coordinates the independent parameter sets for different TRPs/panels. This intermediary structure ensures that parameter configurations for one TRP or panel do not interfere with others, while maintaining overall system coherence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If independent data channel configuration information is used for each TRP/panel, then scheduling flexibility and anti-interference performance are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescheduling flexibilityVSAvoiddata channel configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs parameter changes by dynamically adjusting transmission parameters based on the specific requirements of each TRP or panel. This allows the system to achieve high scheduling flexibility and anti-interference performance through adaptive parameter configuration rather than through complex structural changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
